Uprisings Influencing Cambodia
The Cambodia Daily - August 24, 2013
Council of Ministers spokesman Phay Siphan said that as long as the CNRP staged peaceful protests and applied for the requisite permits from Phnom Penh City Hall and the Ministry of Interior, there would not be any problems.
“We are prepared for crowd control and for rioting, but it does not mean we will definitely use force,” he said.
“We’re not like Egypt and Syria. The difference is Cambodia has experience of civil war and all of our leaders are elected to the Parliament,” he added. “The Cambodian people are now mature enough to deal with problems peacefully and not with violence.”
CNRP chief whip Son Chhay agreed.
“Cambodia is a small country. Our people do not have that type of divide in our society,” he said. “It’s a question of people’s rights. It does not have anything to do with religious fanatics and divides…and we have so much suffering in our recent history. I don’t think we’ll see bloodshed in the streets.”
